3:01pmSébastien | French WordpressDesigner says:not sure to understand...
the username must be replaced by the company name. That's it ?- 05/15/12 3:06pm
Adam Bundy says:Yes, that's correct. I just want the label visible on the select menu to be the extended user meta with key "company_name" instead of the username. Thanks!
- 05/15/12 5:11pm
Adam Bundy says:To clarify, this will require a query within this loop of the extra meta field "company_name" for each user listed in the menu and make the text for each option element the company_name value instead of the username value. Make sense?

Sébastien | French WordpressDesigner says:i don't understand : where is this menu ?
- 05/16/12 10:32am
Adam Bundy says:Sebastien, this is a function that creates a select menu above the admin list of posts of type "Contest Entries". It filters the list of posts by author. The client would like to see the author's 'company_name' in the select menu rather than author username. Try the function in a test install to see what I mean.

Adam Bundy says:...of course, you wont have this post type established- you can test it under posts and I can change that here.

7:56amGabriel Reguly says:Hi Adam,
You will need to filter the wp_dropdown_users result to replace the user name with the company name.
Something like this code
add_filter('wp_dropdown_users', 'wp_dropdown_users_filter');
function wp_dropdown_users_filter( $output ) {
// Here you will need to replace the option text, e.g. <option value="1">User name</option> becomes <option value="1">Company name</option>
return $output;
}
I can code it for you tomorrow.
Regards,
Gabriel

Gabriel Reguly says:Sorry, last post was incorrectly submitted.
Please try this one:
function restrict_manage_authors() {
if (isset($_GET['post_type']) && post_type_exists($_GET['post_type']) && in_array(strtolower($_GET['post_type']), array('contestentry'))) {
wp_dropdown_users(array(

));
}
}
add_action('restrict_manage_posts', 'restrict_manage_authors');
function custom_columns_author($columns) {
$columns['author'] = 'Author';
return $columns;
}
add_filter('manage_edit-contestentry_columns', 'custom_columns_author');
function wp_dropdown_users_modified( $args = '' ) {
$siteusers = get_users('orderby=nicename&order=ASC');
$re = '';
$key = 'company_name'; // replave user meta field here
if (count($siteusers) > 0){
$re = '<select name="author" id="post_author_override">';
foreach ($siteusers as $user) {
$companyName = get_user_meta($user->ID, $key, true);
if ( isset( $_GET['author'] ) && ( $user->ID == $_GET['author'] ) {
$re .= '<option value="' . $user->ID . '" selected="selected">'.$companyName.'</option>';
} else {
$re .= '<option value="' . $user->ID . '">'.$companyName.'</option>';
}
}
$re .= '</select>';
}
return $re;
}
add_filter('wp_dropdown_users', 'wp_dropdown_users_modified');
Hopefully this will do what you are looking for.

Adam Bundy says:Gabriel,
Tried your above code, and ended up with white screen in the admin. It appears that maybe there's a syntax error in this if/then:
if ( isset( $_GET['author'] ) && ( $user->ID == $_GET['author'] ) {
$re .= '<option value="' . $user->ID . '" selected="selected">'.$companyName.'</option>';
} else {
$re .= '<option value="' . $user->ID . '">'.$companyName.'</option>';
}
??
Thanks! - 05/18/12 3:12pm
Gabriel Reguly says:Hi,
Indeed, it was missing a ')'.
Follows amended code.
if ( isset( $_GET['author'] ) && ( $user->ID == $_GET['author'] ) ) {
$re .= '<option value="' . $user->ID . '" selected="selected">'.$companyName.'</option>';
} else {
$re .= '<option value="' . $user->ID . '">'.$companyName.'</option>';
}
